B. City’s response to submitted request for clarification:

1. Question: “Page 16, Item #9 – Is a cylinder lifting mechanism acceptable in lieu of chain lift?”

Response: No, the user department wants a chain lift.

2. Question: “Page 16, Item #15 – Previous bid mentioned strobe lights in this section. Are rear strobe lights not required?”

Response: Strobe Lights are required.

3. Question: “Page 17, Item #24 – Is front mount vane pump system acceptable? (Was approved for previous bid per Addendum No. 1, question 38, dated 2/24/22).”

Response: It is acceptable, but a hot shot is preferred if possible due to the placement of the tow hook for the front bumper.

4. Question: “Page 19, Item #33 – Is it acceptable for CES representatives to drive vehicles to repair site in lieu of towing?”

Response: Yes.

5. Question: “Page 19, Item #34 – Does the city want a three-year body warranty as mentioned in #33 or a 5-year body warranty? Also, what is meant by preventative maintenance warranty?”

Response: The City wants a 3-year body warranty and disregard the preventative maintenance warranty.

6. Question: “What is the current estimated time of delivery of the Peterbilt chassis to the body plant?”

Response: Peterbilt initially responded with 360 days but since has revised that to 120 days.

7. Question: “Does the City want a full-eject body or a dump body?”

Response: Either body is acceptable.

8. Question: “Line Item #8 Lifting and Gripping Mechanism states ‘The arm base shall be mounted directly to the chassis frame rails.’ Amrep’s lifting and gripping mechanism mounts directly to the body frame rails. 1. This mounting position provides less ‘shaking/rocking’ when dumping cans, reduces driver fatigue and chassis wear and tear. 2. This mounting position is preferred for full eject push out to dump trucks. Full Eject Truck Bodies are safer in landfills eliminating the possibility of truck roll overs. Will arms that are mounted to the body on top of the frame be acceptable?”

Response: No ASL arms mounted to the body will be accepted. The City has specified that the lifting and gripping mechanism must be mounted to the chassis frame.
